The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A dark, contemplative puzzle game where you must weigh self-sacrifice to illuminate a path for future generations.

What players say
Players are split: some find the core loop of dying to illuminate the darkness clever, but many more call it boring and repetitive. The game does not save progress, and several mention pitch-black levels and ear-shattering sound. It is a free short game that plays like a 2000s flash title.
